"It's everything a road picture is supposed to be: a life-changing personal journey, a quest, a bit old-fashioned and a hoot." - Orlando Sentinel
"Part of an incredible 1970s career run for the director Peter Bogdanovich, Paper Moon remains a high point, not just for the talent involved behind the scenes and in front of the camera, but also for Hollywood." - Times
"What's most interesting about Paper Moon is that it has the tone and timbre of a comedy, but the setting and style of the film are somber and more reminiscent of a European art film." - Sarasota Herald-Tribune
During the Great Depression, Moses Pray, a traveling Bible selling hustler, stops at a sparsely attended graveside funeral service from a woman he once knew. In attendance is the woman’s 9-year-old daughter, Addie, whom he reluctantly agrees to take to St. Joesph, Missouri, in exchange for money. Their trip begins poorly, but as they travel the pair begin to have a rapport, with both of them wondering if Addie is his daughter. And the further along the pair travel, the deeper their partnership becomes.
